A bought and paid for government

[Cyrano]

I knew a "union delegate" a while back and there was literally no distinction or separation between him and organized crime.

But he told me something that I'll always remember. He said: "The most important thing to them (the mob) in the world is money. You can get away with a lot of stuff, but if you steal from them, you're dead."

Although it was many years ago, I still remember these words. However, over time, I came to realize that the only purpose of the money was to buy power.

Most people think that money makes the world go round. Actually, it's just the admission ticket to power -- which puts you in control -- which let's you make people do whatever you want them to do. There's a word for all of that. Evil.

So when we have a bought and paid for government, the same word applies.
